Our lawyers do whatever it takes to be successful in court.

Few criminal defense lawyers experience routine success in court. The criminal defense lawyers with LEWIS & DICKSTEIN, P.L.L.C. have an unparalleled track record of success.

Getting Charges Dismissed and Reduced is the Highest Priority

In three separate cases, the firm obtained outstanding outcomes for its clients, two people whose lives were put in jeopardy by serious criminal allegations. In the first case, an out-of-state engineer was charged with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OWI). His work requires that he travel back and forth to Canada and a conviction for this charge was sure to have a devastating impact on his job and life. Although Ontario is just over the river, most people are unaware of the serious complications a drunk driving conviction can create for those who need to travel across the border. Even a lesser charge like operating while visibly impaired (OWVI) is viewed as a more serious crime by Canadian jurisdictions and the Canadian Border Services Agency. After a long, drawn-out battle representing the man, one of LEWIS & DICKSTEIN, P.L.L.C.’s senior criminal defense attorneys managed to secure a plea to a misdemeanor reckless driving charge, a non-alcohol related offense, and the dismissal of the original OWI. The client is now free to travel for his job without worrying about the obstacles that a drunk driving conviction would create in his life and career. Our top priority is to get charges dismissed or reduced when possible.

In the second case at the 52-1 Judicial District Court, the client was charged with OWI and Speeding. The attorneys at LEWIS & DICKSTEIN, P.L.L.C. noticed right away the flaws in the case. Another one of LEWIS & DICKSTEIN, P.L.L.C.’s senior attorneys filed a motion to suppress the evidence based on a careless investigation performed by the arresting officer and was able to secure a plea to a misdemeanor reckless driving charge.

Getting Charges Dismissed and Reduced

The third case was before a Wayne County district court involved the firm representing a man facing the charge of operating while under the influence of drugs (OWID). The firm went to battle for its client. On the eve of the last court date, a final jury trial settlement conference following a long period of aggressive negotiations, LEWIS & DICKSTEIN, P.L.L.C. convinced the prosecution to drop the charge and allow the young man to plead to a loitering charge under diversion, meaning ALL CHARGES WILL BE DISMISSED upon successful completion of a short term of probation.
